Knighton Show and Carnival is taking place this Saturday, August 24, with amazing acts, inflatables, live music, dance shows, donkey rides, and delicious food and drink to tickle all taste buds.
One of the highlights of the town calendar, the event will also feature a craft tent, face painting and balloon modelling and a wonderful selection of trade stands which will be set around the dog show and a new event for this year, the ‘Gun Dog Scurry’.
Schedules are in local businesses and available on the Knighton Show & Carnival 2024 Facebook page.
This year's show admission is £3 for children under 16, £7 for 16+ and under twos are free. If you only wish to go into the hall for the horticultural and crafts sections it is a reduced entry of £3.50.

Processions are at 12.30pm and 8.30pm with a grand finale firework display to round off the evening.
“We would like to thank our sponsor William Watkins, of Radnor Hills, for his continued support of our show,” said show secretary, Louise Hardwick.
“Our processions will be led by this year's carnival princess, 14-year-old Madison Tolley, along with her attendants Alys Jones, Coby Davies, George Lloyd and Ruby Thompson.
“We know they're all getting very excited for the day and are busy with their parents and volunteers preparing their ideas for their float.”
Louise added: “There is no set theme this year and we are loving the buzz that's going around with all of the different ideas.”
The window decorating competition was judged on Wednesday evening ahead of show day, and if you would like to help out on the day in any way organisers would like you to get in touch. “There are lots of ways to help, from marshalling, selling tickets, helping keep the field tidy, setting up pre show and packing away on the Sunday,” said Louise.
“Many hands make light work and also will help the show to continue for many years to come.”
